a little more about me

I wanted to start by saying Hi I am a mom of 3 kids under the age of 5, and I have found there are so many people who are parents or becoming parents that do not seem to be in touch with reality... so That is the reason I have started this blog. I find my self constantly surrounded by people who think the answer is in the book.  I'm sure at least one of your parents told you at some point in your life "when you were born there was not an instruction manual", wow I always hate to think i'm turning into my parents especially my dad, but were they right. 

I think it is so funny that as soon as people, mainly couples, find out their pregnant (of course dad wants to think he is going through the same thing as we women are) they run out and get the book all of you are thinking of "what to expect when your expecting"  It's all crap or at least most of it is...  If you have more then one child you have already learned there is no 2 the same.  everyone is different.  I think my sister-in-law said it best, "when we got home with (their son) i couldn't believe they let us leave the hospital with a baby!"  My Brother was the one who went and decided he needed to read the books on everything, i was on my 3rd kid and was basically telling me i was wrong about everything I ate drank and did. Ps they are all fine, way above the average for height and weight, developing fine.  Guess what Men if you are not growing the life inside of you, having something kicking you in your bladder, making you eat way more than the guys at coney island eating hot dogs, watching your Boobs and stomach turning into the good year blimp, wondering if you will ever see your girl parts, and you know the girl parts: the ones your even lucky to see anymore, then stay out of it.  The one thing I love about people that don't have kids is they are always the first ones to tell you what to do with your kids!

So as this is my first post I wanted to let you know in no way am I an expert on anything.  I just know there is a better way of doing things then what I am told from a book!
